@simon I only truly understand what you said here now after spending some time looking at the code and modifying my theme and reading up on filters! 🙂

Currently my theme is using `comments_number` where you leave a comment but `get_comments_number` for the number next to the comments icon. It was this icon, and hence `get_comments_number` that i was referring to in my original question.
